RenegadeTK Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Prior to the beginning of the season, the vast majority of analysts had us finishing last in the division. However, after a week of football, and a plethora of injurues, i believe they will be talking about the redskins a little more favorably Dallas: Newman will be banged up all season Glenn likely to miss entire season Furguson done for the year Secondary almost non-existent Offense has firepower, but not tested against a good or even average defense Giants: Eli out for at least a month Brandon Jacobs out for 3-5 weeks Osi Umenyiora out for 2 months Demps out for season Secondary almost non-existen AND.... Coughlin is still their coach Eagles: Horrendous special teams Offense struggled to put point on the board Not sure how long mcnabb will take to get back to old form.... if ever If mcnabb goes down, which is very possible, who is his backup? so sad. Lito out for a week .....we have to be climbing to the front of the pack in everyones eyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Shot Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 That's sure what it looks like. I just hope we can stay healthy, they've just had some really bad luck. Then again, we lost Jansen...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzzah Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I'm worried about our pass coverage honestly. Will know in a few games because Miami isnt exactly a high powered offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ouvan59 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 didn't Dallas cut Glenn altogether? He's talking about Terry Glenn. And it is one friggin week people. A lot of football has yet to be played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacky McSlackAss Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 didn't Dallas cut Glenn altogether? Terry not Aaron. Honestly, at this rate, as long as we win games were supposed to i see no reason as to why we cant be division champs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, we lost Jansen...... yeah.... but we have the means to put someone in there, not to replace him, but to keep our o-line effective and efficient. its gonna be a lot harder for the cowboys and giants to deal with their injuries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they definitely will be. Unless they experience the second coming for QB......There's still Dallas and Philly though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Touchdown Redskins Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I am still worried about the Eagles, because McNabb has shown to be Favre-like in that when he's playing, they have a chance to win any game anytime. Also, Reid won't let his special teams unit play that horribly again for the rest of his tenure. Finally, they played a pretty good defense on the road, which might account for their poor performance. I do think the Redskins have a great chance to win the division, but let's not count out the Eagles just yet. As for Dallas and the Giants, I was not impressed with either defense, and I think we'll be more than competitive in our games against them. I would be more apt to put us as the front-runner of the division if JC didn't have his worst game as a pro yesterday. Hopefully he'll improve drastically after getting rid of first-game jitters and light up the Eagles, but until he does that, I think we all should stay level-headed about our chances.

onedrop Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I'm worried about our pass coverage honestly. Will know in a few games because Miami isnt exactly a high powered offense. we also didnt blitz miami much. GW is saving some of our schemes for our division rivals. frontrunners? hell no. the cow****es could start a squad of retarded bovine and the mediots would still spin it in their favor. personally i like it that way.

jrfriedm Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Things are looking good for us, but we need to improve our offense (pass offense), and keep acting like we're the underdog. Once we get to the point of thinking that we are good and the favorites, we start to suck. We need to keep the mind set that we are being looked over and put down.

I think people are using that as an excuse too much. I don't understand why GW would do that....I know the games against our division rivals mean more, but not so much more that you sacrifice your options just so you can play better against another team.

[[ghost]] Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 We still have to get our O together. Our ground game looked great, and I understand Campbell's inaccuracy can be attributed to the preseason, but he still needs to step up his short-intermediate accuracy. One thing I know won't happen, is problems in the long ball. Campbell can launch it, and it helps that he throws the thing pretty damn well on top of far. If Cooley can step up (think Dallas 05) and Moss becomes a bigger factor, our O can easily put 17-25 week in and week out. And until we play a HIGH octane offense, our D should be fine. the Run stop is great, and our pass D is not sensational, but 20+ yarders are going to be hard to come by.

skinsfan07 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 As long as we stay healthy we'll be in good shape. Take care of business. Starting next week at Philly. If we win that, we have a chance to go 6-0. Then we play the Pats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCranon21 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Only thing I'm really concerned about is the 7-15 foot cushion that Carlos and Fred is giving up. They have to play up some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Shot Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 hopefully campbell's jitters are gone That may be the sole explanation for his performance yesterday. He had the jitters. Because when he played in the preseason, with not nearly as much pressure, he was doing fine. Hopefully it's all good now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[S.S.F. | Nero] Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Slow down. Agreed. It's quite amusing, watching people mention 6-0 records after just a single victory. If we had lost, those same persons would probably be bemoaning the idea that "this team might go 0-6!" LOL. I love ES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
